Jerry Jabber Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 With this late in the season and with the Bills already having Manuel (who will be our starter) and Tuel who will be a backup, I can't imagine the Bills keeping 4 QB's on the roster during the regular season. So, if that's the case is this a "one and done" deal for both Leinhart and Lewis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if that's the case is this a "one and done" deal for both Leinhart and Lewis? If Tuel starts preseason and has a good game, it is a good possibility that Tuel will be starting against New England in week 1, because he has spent 4 months in this offense and Leinart would be his backup. Amazing how the NFL breaks work. If he sucks, then he gets cut outright or goes to PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I live in Los Angeles (born and raised in Rochester) and when Leinart was at USC, he was a big damn deal. People who followed college ball talked about him ALL THE TIME. Needless to say, he was a huge disappointment in Arizona, and had a bad attitude to boot. My jaw dropped when I saw him going to Buffalo today. I took a quick look at his stats- he's only started two games in the last five years. My understanding of him now is that he's a huge guy with a not very strong arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that's the case, I'd still go with the non-correct version just based on how it sounds. Edited August 26, 2013 by ko12010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 No practice squad eligibility for Lewis: "Chris Mortensen @mortreport 43s You are correct on ThaddeusLewis >> RT @lilOUmikey there's no chance he's eligible for the PS, nice try tho #nopracticesquad #Bills" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retweeted by Bills Daily" You trade away a guy who would have been on your final roster for a scout team QB .... I doubt it? There are plenty of unemployed exCollege QB's that could perform that duty. My prediction, in the end Lewis will prove to be a better option than Lienhart. He may even end up being the longterm backup (that is, if Kolb is really done). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Matt Barkley is Matt Leinart 2.0. I could see that. One thing about Barkley, though, is that his stock fell dramatically before the draft. Leinart went round one, and anybody who was even vaguely a USC fan thought he was going to be the next Payton Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmasThoman Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 don't like that they traded a solid backup and good special teamer in White over some guy who's never gona make it. Let's look at the QB situation. Yesterday, shortly before kickoff, our QB depth chart (if you had access to Marrone's office) would probably look something like: 1) EJ 2) Kolb 3) Tuel 4) Brad Smith What changed in yesterday's game? 1) EJ: nothing 2) Kolb's career is (possibly) over 3) Tuel played like garbage 4) Brad Smith did nothing of importance So, with 2 QBs signed today, we can assume Leinart is replacing Kolb and Lewis is going to replace either Tuel or Smith on the roster. Bottom line: a week from now, look for Tuel or Smith to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 "Mike Rodak @mikerodak 1m Per @AdamSchefter, Kevin Kolb has a "serious" concussion and the Bills will proceed as if it's career-ending: http://es.pn/17WL0oK" According to Tim Graham, it took Kolb two months to recover from his last concussion, so the Bills should stick the fork in him and move on.

At least this regime is not sitting and doing nothing. The QB situation is a real mess. I hope this simply does not demotivate the rest of the team. All that they built over training camp should not go waste. This is where the team leaders need to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
